Honestly, if I was going to buy an F-type I would get the V6.

They are surprisingly heavy, but I wouldn’t kick one out of my garage
I also probably wouldn’t put one very high on my list of cars I want...

Out of curiosity, what other powerful sports/GT car would you have instead of an F-Type R?

Ha! I suppose in relative terms it’s a bargain.

You get to row your own for one, it’s cheaper and still super fun to drive.

I think I’d rather have a C7, 718, or 991. Obviously not as much power, but more nimble and I like nimble.
That said, I wouldn’t limit myself to no heavy-weights. The GTR is still a favorite of mine.
I think my problem with the F-type is that it it surprisingly heavy for its size. I anticipate 3900 lbs for a big GTR, but I don’t anticipate a relatively small car like the F-type to weigh over 2 tons.
From a GT perspective, it’s fine. But I guess I’d lean towards a more sports car focused setup, where weight reduction takes priority over power and luxury.

380bhp is still plenty enough to put you into a tree.

The lower spec ones are getting temptingly inexpensive too. I’ve seen a few CPO’s at dealers listed in the $40-50k range.

I completely agree that the F-Type is a boat. I don’t know why I’m so taken by the looks.
I love the way the Cayman drives. If only I could marry its driving characteristics to the F-Type...
I have driven the 718 and its a blast! But every time I idle, I feel like I’m driving a $70k Subaru :( I’d pick the 981 GTS over the 718.
I have considered a C7 too. I just don’t like the interior that much.

Same here. That, or the 981 Cayman GTS.
The F-Type S can be had for around $45k!!!!!!

Don’t even get me started on the sound of the 718's.
A neighbor has one and it sounds AWFUL. Obnoxiously loud at idle, sounds like a garbage disposal, and I always expect an old Subaru to drive by.
They are seriously quick for a change at least (even in a straight line).

Very true.
I’m in it for the whole experience. Kinda why I’m not turned on by Teslas.
The sound is a big deal.

Only slightly more than most people make in a year! What a deal!

Sure, was just saying that it’s still a 63k vehicle. On its own that’s not a bargain, but compared to a new F-Type, sure!
Maybe in 5-10 years I’ll be able to have one :D

Typical luxury car depreciation right? Also, not sure these really sell for sticker originally but could be wrong.

The sound. My goodness. Not my kind of car but it has a place in my heart. I took my daughter for a test drive in one. The sound. My God.
